Adamsville State Penitentiary
Death Row
With the man’s first step, the others on the Row began a slow tapping on their cell doors.
The tiny procession reached the end of the pod, and the rest of the way through security and all the way to the death chamber was lined on either side with corrections officers shoulder to shoulder, feet spread, hands clasped behind their backs, heads lowered. As the condemned reached them, each raised his head, snapped to attention, arms at his sides, feet together.
What a tribute, he thought. Who would ever have predicted this for one who had, for so much of his life, been such a bad, bad man?
INTERVIEW | Dijorn Moss

Dijorn, describe yourself to our visitors
I am someone who truly enjoys his solitude. I have an introverted personally so it takes me awhile to open up to people. Most days I like to read and watch movies, but occasionally my wife manages to get me out of the house by challenging me to a game of air hockey.
How do you find time to connect with God?
I know that God has been behind every blessing and every trail in my life. The man that I am today is because of God and I can not fulfill my destiny without God. So every day after I work out, I take time out for prayer and studying the Bible. I like to read over the sermons from my Pastor and dig deep into the word. At the beginning of September, I started fasting in preparation for my book release. I do not know how my life is going to change as a result of being a published author, but I do know that if I put down the food and pick up the word, God can comfort me in this journey.

Cyndere’s Midnight
by Jeff Overstreet
Jeff Overstreet burst onto the Christian fantasy scene with his stellar debut novel, "Auralia’s Colors". I anticipated the release of this book and was not disappointed in the least.
Imagine my expectations when I heard of his second in the series, "Cyndere’s Midnight". Much darker in tone than the first, this novel has a beauty and the beast essence that, in my opinion, is a gorgeous picture of redemption for the believer in Christ.

The Shape of Mercy
by Susan Meissner
Anyone who’s been a reader here for any length of time knows just how much I love Susan Meissner’s books. She has a way of wrapping tendrils of letters and pages around your heart and squeezing until you feel the story inside of you.
She has done something so captivating in her latest release: she has captured the essence of women in her provocative and ingenious story, "The Shape of Mercy". As I turned the final page, I was moved to tears at the pure beauty fond amidst the ugliest of times.
BOOK REVIEW | The Other Side of Darkness
Posted by editor | Filed under Women's Fiction
I’m a huge fan of Melody’s writing, but I’ve never viewed her quite like I do today. After reading her soon to be released adult novel, this author is willing to take a risk, to challenge the churches, and to take us places we really would rather not go.
At least, I know I would have been happier not knowing what I now know. More comfortable, at least. More secure.
More blind.
I will never see people the same…Melody’s writing has forever changed me.
"The Other Side of Darkness" is a fictional, first person tale of a wife, mother, and passionate follower of the church. Ruth fights mightily on her knees as a prayer warrior for her family.
